Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh broccoli florets, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds or sliced almonds
- 1/3 cup feta cheese or goat cheese, crumbled (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Chop the broccoli into small bite-sized florets.
- Place the broccoli, baby spinach, blueberries, and red onion into a large salad bowl.
- Sprinkle the sunflower seeds or sliced almonds over the salad.
- Add crumbled feta or goat cheese if desired.

- Drizzle the dressing over the salad.
- Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.

Notes
- Fresh blueberries provide the best texture and flavor.
